3. Do not continue for more than one full
burnishing lap after you start smelling the
brakes. Do not get them smoking heavily. This
will get them too hot and affect their life
negatively in future track use.
4. Allow vehicle to sit and cool in the paddock for
at least 30 minutes. If an infrared thermal gun
is available, allow rotors to cool to 200°F
(93.3°C) before going back out.
5. There should be a thin ash layer when
inspecting the pads installed in the caliper.
Having the ash layer go more than half the
thickness of the pad material indicates too
aggressive of a burnish.
6. Sometimes, a second burnish session is
required. If the pads start smelling in the next
track session, reduce speed and braking
deceleration to burnish targets and follow
steps 2-4.
7. New pads installed on old rotors still need to
be burnished. New rotors installed with old
pads should be burnished at the track or street
driven for 300 city miles to develop an
adequate lining transfer layer on the rotor
surface prior to track use.
8. Rotors that pulsate during track use should be
replaced. Resurfacing of the rotors is not
recommended, as it removes mass from the
rotor, reducing its thermal capacity.
Resurfacing also thins the rotor cheek, making
it less robust and increasing the likelihood of
pulsation in further track use.

pressing the Apps button on the touchscreen are
two other options to access Launch Control
features Ú page 47.
2. Slide the RPM slider bar on the touchscreen.
